What's wrong with my Ford Focus Estate?

I have a 2006 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi Estate. When the car goes it struggles up to 2000rpm and it seems as if the turbo is not kicking in. The car does not smoke; it just seems as if it has no turbo. Then when I leave it overnight it will turn over but won't start. I'm wondering whether to spend a lot on the car or part exchange it as it has done 143,000 miles.
